The death toll from a Russian bombing of an aid distribution point in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region has risen to 53, according to the acting regional governor, making it one of the deadliest strikes on civilians this year.
Search and rescue work at the site in the village of Komyshuvakha entered its fifth day on Friday, Mykhailo Semikin, the acting regional governor, said in a Telegram post. Ukraine's Emergency Service had previously reported the toll at 50 and stated that search and rescue operations were ongoing despite difficult conditions and the threat of further Russian strikes.
